Description

1-Iodo-3,3,4,4,6,7,7,7-Heptafluoro-2-(Trifluoromethyl)-5-Oxaheptane is a highly fluorinated iodoether compound, valued for its unique combination of reactivity and fluorine-derived properties. This specialty chemical serves as a critical building block and intermediate in advanced synthetic chemistry, offering a versatile handle for introducing fluorinated segments. It is primarily sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for creating novel compounds with enhanced stability, lipophilicity, and biological activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to improve metabolic stability and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for developing novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with increased efficacy and environmental persistence.
• Advanced Material Precursor: Employed in the creation of fluorinated polymers, surfactants, and coatings that require oil/water repellency and chemical resistance.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Acts as a versatile reagent for introducing perfluoroalkyl groups via radical or nucleophilic substitution reactions in complex molecule construction.
• Liquid Crystal & Electronic Material Research: Utilized in the development of fluorinated components for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and dielectric materials.
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Tracer Development: Potential use as a precursor for radiofluorination or as a non-radioactive standard in imaging agent research.

Quality Control

Our production of 1-Iodo-3,3,4,4,6,7,7,7-Heptafluoro-2-(Trifluoromethyl)-5-Oxaheptane adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR (1H, 19F, 13C), GC-MS, and HPLC, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We support development under cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical applications and ensure compliance with relevant global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to the light-sensitive nature and potential reactivity of the iodine moiety, containers should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to maintain optimal purity and stability.
